SHARK is very pleased to announce that a planned two-day Labor Day live pigeon shoot, that was to be held at the Wing Pointe canned hunt club in Berks County, PA, was cancelled due to lack of shooters! This victory is added to our major victory of forcing US Senator Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma tostop holding pigeon shootsat his annual fundraiser. Inhofe's next shoot was to be held this coming Friday. Instead, a thousand lives will be saved.

SHARK has been at Wing Pointe for 6 years, released dozens of videos that have received millions of views and documented both pigeon shoots and tower shoots, where pigeons, pheasants and chukars are hand thrown into the air and shot for fun. SHARK's intense exposure of Wing Pointe tower shootsforced the termination of those vile killing sprees - another victory for our animal friends.

As we continued to expose Wing Pointe's shoots and killers, we witnessed a dramatic decrease in attendance of shoots at Wing Pointe. And all of this represents just a fraction of our work to expose Wing Pointe.

The point is, the cancellation of the two-day shoot was no accident. If not for SHARK, this shoot would have happened. That is a fact. Please remember that when you see others talk about our victories (while not naming SHARK) and without having the courtesy to mention our hard work, and the blood, sweat and tears we've shed filming shoots andrescuing victims.

This is not the end of pigeon shoots at Wing Pointe, but it is a very important victory and quite symbolic as Wing Pointe started doing Labor Day shoots in memory of the Hegins, PA annual Labor Day shoots which ended in the early 1990s.
